The Perfect Lover

About This Movie

The Perfect Lover is one of those oddities from the 70s that somehow manages to tread into some very murky waters. The film has a strange blend of dark comedy and romance, almost like it’s trying to justify a relationship that’s born from violence. The performances are a bit uneven, but there's something captivating about the chemistry between the leads. The pacing is curious; it lingers in moments that feel uncomfortable yet oddly engaging. What stands out is how it explores themes of obsession and love, making the viewer question morality amidst the absurdity. It’s not a film you come across often, and it definitely leaves an impression, for better or worse.

The Perfect Lover has a limited release history, making it quite scarce among collectors. Originally issued on VHS, it has seen a few DVD releases but remains elusive in high definition. Interest in this film tends to be niche, appealing mostly to those who appreciate 70s cinema's more peculiar experiments. Its unusual premise and mix of genres can make it a conversation piece in any collection.
